Irwin, lunar module pilot, gives a military salute while standing beside the deployed U.S. flag during the Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The flag was deployed toward the end of EVA-2. The Lunar Module (LM) "Falcon" is in the center. On the right is the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). This view is looking almost due south. Hadley Delta in the background rises approximately 4,000 meters (about 13,124 feet) above the plain. The base of the mountain is approximately 5 kilometers (about 3 statute miles) away. This photograph was taken by Astronaut David R. Scott, Apollo 15 commander.

Irwin, giver en militær hilsen, mens han står ved siden af det plantede amerikanske flag under aktiviteter på Månens overflade ved Hadley-Apennine-landingspladsen. Flaget blev plantet ved afslutningen af den anden aktivitetsrunde. Månemodulet "Falcon" er delvist synligt til den højre side. Hadley Delta rejser sig i baggrunden ca. 4.000 meters over overfladen. Bjergbasen er ca. 5 km væk. Billedet blev taget af astronaut David R. Scott, Apollo 15-kommandør Deutsch: James Irwin, Pilot der Mondlandefähre von Apollo 15, salutiert vor der amerikanischen Flagge. Der Astronaut James B. Irwin, Pilot des Mondlandemoduls, salutiert militärisch neben der aufgestellten US-Fahne stehend, während eines Apollo 15 Außeneinsatzes an der Hadley-Apennin Landestelle. Die Fahne wurde gegen Ende des zweiten Außeneinsatzes aufgestellt. Das Mondlandemodul „Falcon“ steht in der Bildmitte. Das Mondauto (LRV) ist rechts am Bildrand zu sehen. Der Blick richtet sich fast genau nach Süden. Mons Hadley Delta erhebt sich im Hintergrund rund 4000 Meter hoch über die Ebene. Der Fuß des Berges ist ungefähr fünf Kilometer entfernt. Dieses Foto wurde von Astronaut David R. Scott, dem Kommandanten von Apollo 15, aufgenommen. Français&#160;: Le pilote du module Apollo 15 James Irwin salue le drapeau américain.

Irwin, pilot lunarnega modula, nam daje vojaški pozdrav, medtem ko stoji ob postavljeni zastavi ZDA med misijo Apollo 15. Fotografija je nastala med raziskovanjem vesoljske lunarne aktivnosti (EVA) na pristajališču Hadley-Apennine. Zastavo je postavil proti koncu podviga EVA-2. V središču je lunarni modul (LM) "Falcon". Na desni je lunarno vozilo (LRV). Pogled je usmerjen proti jugu. V ozadju se dviga Hadley Delta približno 4.000 metrov nad ravnino. Temelji gore se od stojišča nahajajo na razdalji okoli 5 kilometrov. Fotografijo je posnel astronavt David R. Scott, komandir Apolla 15.

context_page_description: Apollo 15 was the ninth manned flight of NASA's Apollo program. It was the fourth mission to land on the surface of the Moon and the first J-Type mission. Apollo 15 was launched on July 26, 1971. Alfred Worden stayed in orbit in the Command Module, Endeavour, while the Lunar Module, Falcon, landed at Hadley Base, with David Scott and James Irwin. The astronauts used the first Lunar Roving Vehicle to travel on the Moon. This vehicle was specially designed to work in a vacuum, with a wide range of temperatures across rough ground. They travelled a distance of 17.5 mi on the Moon. They spent three days on the Moon. They were able to collect a lot of rock samples, including a core sample from at least 10 ft deep.
